He has been harassed on account of both his political and religious ideas, since he was born into a very devout family and was brought up with seven underprivileged children who were adopted by his parents and whom he considered siblings. In the photograph at left, Arturo Pérez de Alejo with his wife Moraima León. The couple has two children, Ailén, aged 21 years, and Claudia, aged just 9 (shown in the photo at right). After a summary trial, Arturo received the sentence that had been sought by the prosecutor: 20 years’ imprisonment. Moraima has repeatedly denounced the abuse and mistreatment that her husband suffers in prison – just as occurs with other prisoners of conscience.

Medicine Contrary to government propaganda, medicine is scarce in Cuba and in many instances, Cubans find it difficult to obtain basic medicine such as paracetamol and ibuprofen. In view of this demand, it is worthwhile to use your trip to partially assist in alleviating this need. In the case of prisoners of conscience, the situation is even more serious due to the fact that the majority of them contract some kind of illness while in prison, or else suffer a worsening of their existing health problems. Their families find it hard to access the medicine they need. High blood pressure, gastritis, anemia and headaches are just some of the common ailments among prisoners.
We recommend that you carry the following medicine, which is useful in treating the illnesses that are headlined above each group in bold: Gastritis / Gastric Ulcer _ Omeprazole 20 _ Lansoprazole 30 _ Ranitidine 300 _ Antacid (suspension): magaldrate + simethicone Arthrosis _ Glucosamine + Chondroitin sulfate _ Meloxicam 15 mg / 7.5 mg Glaucoma _ Dorzolamide + Timolol (drops) _ Levobunolol 0.5% _ Latanoprost 0.005% Tuberculosis _ Isoniacide 5 mgr _ Riphampicine 300 mgr _ Pyrazinamide 500 mg _ Ethambutol Hypertension _ Enalapril 10 or 20 _ Lisinopril 10 or 20 _ Carvedidol 25 mg or 12.5 mg _ Losartan 50 mg _ Valsartan + Hydrochlorothiazide _ Amlodipine 5 mg or 10 mg _ Captopril 25 mg or 50 mg Peripheral circulatory failure _ Troxerutine 300 mg Ischemic heart disease _ Diosmine + Hesperidine Prostate

Books Books are highly prized by Cubans because in Cuba, the government controls book distribution channels and does not publish any titles that it considers as “contaminating” from an ideological standpoint. The only places where citizens can have access to certain kinds of texts are the independent libraries. However, this access is very limited and requires caution because there are few copies available and the people who manage these independent centers are under observation. Cubans are very anxious to have access to the rich and varied literature that tourists to the island can enjoy in their own countries, without anybody persecuting them for doing so. That is why bringing reading material for Cubans is a proactive way of opening windows for them into other worlds. Recommended books Practically anything is welcome, from fiction novels to books on philosophy, and even children’s books. They can be donated to independent librarians or private individuals. We have recommended some here, and have sorted them into three levels according to their content. The first thing to know is that the Cuban government gets more irritated if you take along books that criticize the regime or have been written by prisoners of conscience; contemporary fiction novels or children’s stories are less problematic. Accordingly, the green section contains books that tourists can quite comfortably carry in their luggage; the books that require a little more care are shown in the orange section; the most sensitive books or pamphlets, which it is advisable to keep from public view and even carry in a discreet part of your suitcase, are shown in the red section.
